GBSB Ep7 Inspiration: Stitching for the Dancefloor
From liquid satin and denim to metallic jersey, sequins and velvet, discover our fabric inspiration from Sewing Bee Music Week.
A beautifully fine Italian cotton voile covered in an intricate vintage surf print, with rows of individually illustrated surfboards sitting amongst dense, almost hand drawn tropical foliage. Look closely and every board seems to have its own personality, from racing stripes and flames to florals and graphic motifs. The palette of coral red, navy, black, sage, olive, sand and warm cream gives it a wonderfully nostalgic feel without becoming overly bright or novelty.
At approximately 69gsm, the cotton is exceptionally fine, soft and airy, with the lightness and fluidity you would expect from a premium designer voile. Despite the amount of detail within the print, the cloth itself feels delicate and refined, making it a fabulous choice for statement shirts, floaty summer dresses, blouses, kaftans and luxurious beachwear. For me, a relaxed men's or women's shirt would show this print off particularly well. A rare Italian designer cloth with masses of character and a finish that sets it apart from an everyday printed cotton.
